HOPE CELEBRATES EID UL AZHA BY SERVING THE HUNGRY ONES

Eid ul azha is a feast of sacrifice, popularly known as Bakra Eid in our nation, is where Muslims are meant to pay symbolic tribute to Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son on the command of Allah (SWT).

During this annual three-day Islamic holiday, Muslims who earn a good enough living, follow Prophet Abraham’s example by committing a fraction of their wealth to the sacrifice of livestock. The meat gained, of course, is divided into three portions, one of which is supposed to go to the poor and needy.

HOPE- an NGO in Pakistan celebrates Eid in all its glory by sacrificing 19 cows and 12 goats. The meat is then chopped and made packets of. Once all the preparation is complete. HOPE then distributes these packets among the needy.

The following are the areas where meat packets are distributed to poor families: AJK, Thatta, Sujawal, Badin, Muzaffargarh. Then comes the rural areas of Karachi which are as follows: Rehri Goth, Bhes colony, Ghaggar, Gadap, Link road, Kathore, Gul Hassan Goth. Lastly karachi’s slum areas : Zia Colony, Bilal Colony, Mujahid Colony, Sachal Goth and Bhittaiabad serving a total of 1600 families.

Rising prices of sacrificial animals has made it impossible for the middle strata to take part in this religious exercise. The hike in prices has left the public with sole option of window-shopping the livestock markets. HOPE still administered it’s part of feeding the poor by the generous funds given by donors.

Albeit, the weather conditions weren’t looking good for Karachi, HOPE- a health NGO in Pakistan still managed to distribute meat in time only to see those innocent faces lit up once they received their share.

Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- a child specialist in Karachi, does not compromise on the quality or quantity to meat served to the poor. She believes in treating everyone equally and that’s what drove her towards opening such a philanthropic organization which works day in and day out for the wellbeing of the needy.
